American money of ail kinds passes at pnr in Canada nowadays. A rich vein of pure iron ore has boon discovered in the northern part of Hayti, and already an American com pany has obtained a concession to mine it. The Supreme Court of South Da kota has decided that the law passed by the last Legislature requiring all canvassers for business houses out of the State to take out a license is un constitutional because of its interfer ence with interstate commerce. A rn'e has been adopted by the members of the School Management Committee of the Board of Education, of Chicago, whereby it is provided that neither teachers nor principals in dsy schools shall he employed as teachers in night schools except in cases where suitable talent cannot otherwise be found. Agriculture is the mainstay of Porto Eico, it having been the policy of Spain to discountenance the establish ment of factories in order to afford a market for the manufacturers of the home provinces. The field is, there* fore, almost virgin in that direction, being limited by natural conditions only, suYu as want of coal, freights on raw material, and the training of skilled labor, at present entirely lack ing. _ Austria-Hungary is making an inter esting experiment to open up new channels for its trade. A steamer, the Poseidon, fitted up as a floating exhi bition of the products of the monarchy, will soon lcavo Trieste for the chief ports of the Lovant, the Bed Sea, Hindostan, the East Indies, Chin* and Japan. Its arrival will be exten sively advertised beforehand at each port, and commercial travelers on board will try to secure orders for the exhibitors and to find capable agents at tho points touched. Tho Govern ment has granted a subsidy of $25,U00 to assist tho enterprise. In connection with tho opening of the puhlio schools in the city of San tiago, it i 3 interesting to note how meager school system had hitherto prevailed there. In the whole prov ince of Santiago, the latest figures show that out of a population of 270,- 000, there were hut 0000 public and 1800 private school pupils, while the total public school expenditure for a year was only $16,000. Iu the whole of Cuba there wero but 13,000 chil dren iu the public schools. This is about three and one-half per cent, of the population. Fifty-three out of every one hundred persons in Havana lan neither read nor write. A great work is before the schools in tho island of Cuba, observes the School Journal. There is a considerable consumption of coal in Venezuela, and the supply comes almost wholly from Wales. It is pressed into bricks seven Inches thick and eleven inches long, and, on this account, is preferred by the rail ways, whose engines have no tenders. Their Coal is carried on a small plat form, and off these ordinary coal would roll, It sells in Venezuela for sl2 a ton and enters duty free. Tho Consul at La Guayra says that .there is aa excel lent opening in Venezuela for United States coal, which can be laid dowu there much more cheaply than the British coal. It would bo necessary, however, for our manufacturers to meet the demands of that market. Bricks are indispensable, and for this purpose a grado of soft coal could be used that is not always marketable m the United States.

I THE CHIPPEWA OUTBREAK. | |y Causes Which Led the Minnesota Indians to Go & 111 on the Warpath. 11l r\ n EARLY every ac j®a) A I count agrees that {£-< K\ the outbreaiiof the hJ Iyd Chippewa Indians *Jl' I \ near Bear Island, yt"- X , on the east side of .. /a HI 1 Leech Lake, in Pi northern Minue- L l '"Afe-"' * 1 I sota, is the result Wk I of an accumulation grievances. *fr \f The immediate y 1 I |' vj '' cause of the trou- ' " bio was the arrest of old Chief Bog-a-Meg-Eshig, or Bush Ear, head of the Pillagers, made by a deputy United States mar shal on a warrant —a proceeding al ways resented, either openly or secret ly, by Indians, for they can never ho j made to understand why white men should interfere to the extent of de priving any one of them of his per sonal liberty. To the Indian, even under the conditions of to-day, con finement in prison for even a short term is equivalent to a sentence of death, and the records will bear out the assertion that few ludiau prison ers survive a term of imprisonment of more than throe years. They are peculiarly susceptible to home-sick ness, which, among Indians, is a real disease and commonly has a fatal termination. It is on this account that an arrest, with the subsequent imprisonment, is so'obnoxious to an In dian that he will often fight to the death rather than submit. It appears that in the present case the friends of the man arrested over powered the marshal and rescued his prisoner. Troops were then sent out to assist the marshal in arresting tho rescuers, and a collision between them and the Indinns followed, with a loss to tho troops of six killed, including Major Wilkinson of tho Third In fantry, who but recently returned from Santiago. The loss of tho In y /w A ll 'ff /* t OLD EOG-A-MEG-ESIIIG. clians "was small, as they fought from cover. Tho trouble is all the more remark because the Chippewa3 were one of the few tribes in the United States not affected by tho ghost dance ex citement of 1890. The Cbippewas are members of the great Algonquin family, which ranged from the Mississippi to east of tho great lakes, through the norlhern part of the United States, and are still one of the most numerous of the Indian tribes. Tho territory of tho tribe to tho eastward was bounded by the country of the Iroquois, with whom constant war prevailed, and on the •west and Bouthwest by tbat of tho Sioux, also inveterate enemies of the ! Cbippewas and their foes in hundreds A GROUP OF CHIPPEWA SQUAWS AND PAPOO.3E3. cf battles, extending over five cen turies. The fchippewas are first-rate fight ers, and have been generally victorious in their battles with other tribes. Tbcy are remarkable among Indian tribes, in tbat they have nover been removed from their old ranges, but occupy to-day a section of the country where they were found by the whites. Their own name for themselves is the Ojibways, which was applied (o the whole tribe formerly, but the tribal Iname is now Chippewas. ) The hand known aa the Leech Lake Pillagers, which is making, the pres ent troublo, numbarod 1153 in 1897, out of the 7651 Indiana on tho reser vation. In 1890 there wee 1123 of them at Leech Lake, of whom SCO were males, and of these 321 were above eighteen years of age. There were in addition 389 Pillagers on the Cass Lake and Winnebegoshish reser vations, and OS2 Otter Toil Pillagers. In 1890 the Pillagers owned 111,410 acres of laud in the reservation, of which five were cultivated by tho Gov ernment and 350 by the Indians.

They raised 600 bushels of corn, 1220 bushels of vegetables and 350 tons of hay, besides cutting more than 400 cords of wood. From the sale of port of their products and from linuliug freight they realized in cash SIOSO. Of tho 6100 Indians on the reservation iu 1890, 1000 wore American clothing, 1000 could read and 1200 were church members, John B. Bottineau, a Chippewa Indian who is at present in Washing ton, says: "Tho ngly spirit and dis position of tho Pillagers to hold them selves aloof from both white men and other bands of their tribe have caused them to be charged with many viola tions of law which perhaps should have been laid at some other door. That naturally exasperates them, and, with a good deal of whisky, has oc casioned the present outbrenk. "I believe this trouble was caused by members of the tribe getting hold of whisky. Tho officers of the law heard of it, found the culprits and de tained them. In the meantime de puties wero sent out io securo wit nesses, and the more witnesses tho officials summon the greater the amount of fees to the Sheriff's office. Many deputies aro half-breeds who care for nothing but money-making. Every witness that is grabbed up is taken to the Sheriff's office and de tained for an indefinite time. This causes suffering in the Indian's family, because, not being a thrilty tribe, they do not lay anything by for the future. I think had Sheriff O'Connor aoted with more diplomacy the pres ent trouble would have beeu averted. I imagine ho went at tho business im petuously, and to a certain extent rode rough shod over the Pillagers: "Another grievance is the failure to get payment for their lands, Acoord- iag to tho act of Congress of January 14, 1889, tho consolidated Chippewas of Minnesota ceded all their reserva tion to the United States, less their allotments, and tho Government was to open up the land by selling it at SI. 25 an acre for the agricultural por tion, and the timber land at the rate of $3 a thousand feet. They don't be lieve in the allotments and prefer to have their reservation intact, over which all of the tribe can swarm at will." Secretary Bliss says tho Pillagers have no cause to complain regarding their timber. He says timber stealing on their reservation was stopped eighteen months ago aud that their interests are now thoroughly pro tected. Under the law alluded to by Mr. Bottineau, the timber of the Pil lagers has been app>raiscd by compe tent and honest agents, and much of it has been sold at auction at a mini mum price of 83 a thousand, but the receipts from the sale of what they call "dead and down timber," last year reacheds27o,ooo. The money thus received has been chiefly ex pended in buying farms, eattlo,horses, implements, scotls and other supplies and in promoting the cultivation of the ground. There aro altogether about 8000 Chippowas and other Indians in Minnesota, including men, women and children. Of theso more than one-fourth aro "Christianized" and are enumerated as communicants among the several religious denomi nations. Of the GOOO remaining 3500 are practically civilized. THE HOME OF A LEECH LAKE CHIPPEWA FAMILY. Leaving 2500 men, women and children in the "half-civilized" cate gory, these include the Pillagers, who number about 250 men and 750 women and children. They do farming in a small way. Nearly every family has a little garden between the stumps of the land that has been cleaved, and most of them have permanent homes built of logs, with cows, horses, pigs and chickens. During the summer they fish a good deal and putter about their gardens. In the winter they work in the logging camps and hunt for food and turs. Seventy per cent, of the labor in the logging camps and sawmills on the Pillager reservation is performed by the Indians, and they make good wages, but spend most of their moiiey for whisky. The Pillagers have always had a bad reputation for thievery. It is said that the name they bear was de rived from that characteristic. They have never been famous for fighting, but for plundering they could hold their own against all competition. They have not made the same pro gress in civilization as the other bands of Chippewas, and by their exclusive ness and conservatism have earned o bad name in their tribe. -, Their unpopularity among other branches of their nation will, it is thought, prevent any sympathy or as sistance from reaching them. The missionaries have made 'ittlo pro gress among them, and Bishop Whip ple, of Minnesota, said that they had refused schools and religious privileges that had been offered, and Archd-.. 1 Gilfillan has been compelled to aban don missionary work among themi They have ugly dispositions and preJ fer to live in their own way and rescul all interference.

KING MATAAFA. The Kojnl Exile Wlio Mity Aljaln Elile in Samoa. Our State Department's assent to tlie return to Samoa of Mataafaprobably mean 3 that Samoa's former ruler is again to be Kiug, after nearly ten years of exile on the lonely sand island of paluit, under the equator. The Mataafa family had ruled Samoa for hundreds of years previous to 1889, when Great Britain, Germany, and the United States decreed Mataafa slioulcl step down and Malietoa, who died recently, rule the islands. Malietoa did not want to be King and asked that Mataafa be allowed to keep his seat. The powers would not have it, however, and Maliotoa became King, with Mataafa as vice-regent. Then a re bellion broko out, foreigners having encouraged discord betwoen King and former ruler. Mataafa was defeated and sent into exile. For years there has been au agitation for Mataafa's re lease from exile, and the United States Government is said to be well-disposed towards him because of the service he rendered Uncle Sam's eeamen after the Apia disaster in 1889. A Misleading Metaphor. In the Fall Mall Gazette William Archer discusses the real rather than tho sentimental relationship existing between America and England. In part he writes: "A misleading meta phor may do a great deal to beget and perpetrate confusion of thought, and such a metaphor, I suggest, is that which describes England as tho "mother country" of America. Ten nyson has given it literary sanction in tho line "Gigantic Daughter of tho West," and Mr. William Watson, in his sonnet beginning "0 towering daughter, Titan of tho West," repeats the phraso without misgiviug. Both poets ignore the flight of time aud mistake a historical for au actual rela tion. Tho America of to-day is not the daughter of the England of to day." A Queer Ferry lirldge.
